Subject: [PATCH 22/45] lib/arg: Block repeated short options that require an
 argument

Fuzzing found the following crash:

search -hhhhhhhhhhhhhf

We didn't allocate enough option space for 13 hints because the
allocation code counts the number of discrete arguments (i.e. argc).
However, the shortopt parsing code will happily keep processing
a combination of short options without checking if those short
options require an argument. This means you can easily end writing
past the allocated option space.

This fixes a OOB write which can cause heap corruption.

Fixes: CVE-2021-20225
